It’s no secret that luxury retailers are behind the times when it comes to e-commerce.

Chanel lets you purchase its fragrances, beauty products and sunglasses online — but not its handbags. Hermès allows you to purchase some bags and other items on its Web site — but not its signature Birkin and Kelly bags. Celine lets you view its goods online, but you can’t purchase any of them that way.

But now these companies are taking steps to be more Web-friendly, The Post has learned.

Celine, the French luxury ready-to-wear and leather goods brand, recently began including its prices online though you still can’t buy anything.

A spokeswoman declined to comment on the development, but store employees confirmed that Celine updated its Web site, adding prices for the first time.

Chanel also revamped its Web site.

“Since October, prices listed on Chanel.com are given in the local currency depending on the geographical location,” the company said in a statement to The Post, adding, “The user now has access to the prices applicable to the country where he/she is.”

But the company declined to discuss the reason for this change.

A store employee offered that Chanel “just went through a globalization of the brand because it was running into problems” with different prices in different countries.

“It’s been a big adjustment for the brand,” said the employee.

These retailers are “slowly succumbing to the fact that you have to be accessible online,” said Gabriella Santaniello, founder of A Line Partners, a retail research firm. “They are very late to e-commerce, but some of it is by design because limiting their products online is a way of controlling their brand.”
